Breville Sous Chef Food Processor

[@patnewson6908]

This is from 12 years ago. (March 2024)! I just bought a 2nd hand one, used once!) & it is amazing! I saw a 2024 listing of top 5 food processors - & this. Breville was number 1, ranking 10 out of 10! Brilliant! Good presentation. Wonder if this processor still going?

[@DiannaAtherton]

I know this video is older but I just purchased this processor and find it extremely helpful thank you

[@alexhuxley4399]

I bought the Sous Chef 12 Plus. Awesome machine. The only problem I’ve found thus far is that my friends are all putting on weight from the amount of cooking I’m doing. This is my second Breville purchase and I am extremely happy with their engineering and quality control. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Williams and Sonoma staff was knowledgeable and friendly (Bloor Street Store Toronto). They held this item at the sale price for me so I could get it on my schedule. Thanks, Anna!

PIcke dmien up in bay, Alex does your plug sit flush with/in the socket wall? Got mine on sale at The Bay, Sous Chef 12 ok this is 100% real review. I just made a raw carrot ginger coconut soup. IT WAS AMAZING!!! The creamiest smoothest, and QUIETEST food processor ever used = WOW. . I AM HONESTLY AMAZED! (This was just using the regular S blade)! though may need to exchnage it if plus issue, otherwise best, EVER!

Hey Alex are you still a fan of the device all these years later? Any issues with longevity/durability?

I bought mine two weeks ago, but haven't used it yet. I will be using tonight to chop some sweet potato fries. Hope it goes smoothly.

Did you purchase the Breville? Do you still use it? 8 years later I would love to hear what you think of it

[@mygoldfishrocks]

I just bought this today. It's nice to see that breville is still making these. It has a 25 year warranty on the motor!

[@JB-xl2jc]

Hey there! A couple of years in have you had any issues with your unit? I have heard of some issues with cracking in the bowl, but I am hoping that's isolated. I am deciding between the Breville 16 cup sous chef and Cuisinart 14 cup (the very famous one). I like some of the features of the Breville but it's a huge price difference!

[@josephtrento1076]

Very helpful. My Cusinart DCLX is 35 years old and needs to be retired but I hate to give up my 1mm blade. This Breville solves that issue.

[@DiannaAtherton]

Hi Joseph. I bought my Cuisinart 14 cup 23 years ago and I have replaced the base (motor stopped working), replaced the lower bowl twice. It still works but I just purchased this Breville Processor and cannot wait to take it for a spin. Should arrive tomorrow.

[@MrEmmeCinque]

I like this food processor a lot, but many of the "OMG so smart" new features have been around on Kitchenaid and Cuisinart machines for a *long* time. However, the slicer is amazing, it's a really good motor, and in a lot of little details the thing is by far the nicest one I've used (and I've been using them since the late 70s; I've had like 5 or 6 in all and used them a lot).

[@Williams-Sonoma]

+Mike McNally Thanks for sharing!

[@ElissaPancoe]

+Mike McNally I know! My Cuisinart food processor from 2011 that just broke had a reversible shredding disc, so this test kitchen must be pretty deprived...

[@kenroman777]

Wow how did it break as I have a 16 cup one that I just took out of storage but do not want to do something to break it..

[@ElissaPancoe]

There's a plastic safety thing on the bowl the size of a fingernail where it has to push into a thing on the base when you twist the bowl onto the base. Since that tiny little plastic piece somehow broke, I couldn't activate the safety release thing on the motor base so the machine wouldn't turn on anymore. The solution was to buy an overpriced bowl, or just get a new food processor with more features. I opted for the breville food processor because I wanted the julienne and french fry disc and have no regrets.

[@kenroman777]

Thank you Elissa, I just received my Sous Chef and so far it is wonderful. I will still be keeping my Cuisinarts though as they are able to process larger dough recipes than the Breville but for slicing and french fry cutting this is amazing. I also am pleased with how well the bowl and pusher assembly wash and dry.

[@vakire83]

After researching different food processors (Cuisinart, KitchenAid, Magimix, Omega) I have decided to invest in this food processor. I am investing in a high end FP because I have decided to make a lifestyle change in my dietary habits for health reasons. I will be eating mostly vegan and raw foods which almost always require the use of a FP in preparation. I did notice in the video during the dough portion that there is moisture build up in the handle. I decided against the Cuisinart because some reviewers said that after some use, food particles will become caught in a small opening at the top of the lid and it does not come apart for cleaning therefore leading to bacteria and mold build up. Seeing the moisture in the handle makes me wonder if this will be a problem with this machine? Does anyone know if the handle comes apart so it can dry properly if moisture were to get inside as in the video? Thanks for your help!

[@KuntaKinteToby]

I'm not trying to go vegan but I want to eat a heavily Mediterranean and low oil asian diet and chopping vegetables for 20 minutes when I could be done in under 5 minutes with a food processor is a major deterrent. I want 'fast food' but I want to be healthy for me. Basically I love meat too much to forgo it completely, but I do want to eat about 65% of my food intake as fresh veg. I purchased and returned a 12 cup Cuisinart priced at $225.00 CAD - it was quite bad, and could not even mince celery without getting stuck. Best of luck to you with your diet change.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

I know my comment is very late, but I just thought I would chime in… I just got this food processor, and whatever is showing up on the camera is absolutely not going to get into your food. The handle is completely sealed at both ends from the food bowl and cannot reach the food whatsoever. I am just posting this for people who watch this in the future.

I have this model and I love using it. Until one day when I’m making cream there’s a liquid leaking at the bottom. I’ve found out there’s a crack and I don’t understand why cause I’m taking such good care of it and I don’t over pack or over process anything. Good thing I can buy a new replacement for the cup processor.

[@jennieredrose5819]

Sometimes I wonder if the time u save from slicing tomatoes and patatoes and still used up with assembly and whatnot. There are so many pieces to be assembled correctly. I imagine you have to have the instruction book nearby ...to pick the correct blade and to know which way to connect it all. Right?

[@Eszlee]

Just purchased one.. and it looks a little intimidating for someone who never really uses these types of appliances often.. but, I guess it makes for a GREAT first food processor! :-) And it's very heavy duty! You can tell by the weight & the quality that it will last! Can't wait to use it!

[@martinitime3537]

[@PaulGAckerman]

You need to use a slow motion camera to truly show how fast it turned that potato into french fries.

[@Lowzenza4]

I still notice food gets stuck in the lid, but I guess it's impossible to avoid with food processors that allow for shredding/slicing.

[@seewhaticcurious1]

This review was extremely helpful. Though perhaps not only in ways they intended LOL "Perfect" slices of tomatoes are raggedy and made a lot of juice Lady is totally amazed by reversible shredding disc that is standard on basically all food processors. Has she never used a food processor before?? "One of the first things I can tell right away is that nothing has fallen over the side!" Literally two hunks of potato skin on front edge that fell over the side. . . Thank you cameraperson for close ups that show moisture trapped in the handle because that is one of the most annoying things to me about various models I have tried and really want to avoid one that gets food/water trapped in plastic pieces you cannot properly clean out. I do really like how this works though, especially the french fry disc. Others I've seen make too skinny of fries but these look perfect.

I have a Cuisinart 12 cup Elite that is quite good, and similar to the Breville, it only lacks the whipping disk, but I have other options for that so I don't miss it. I would have bought the Breville but it was not available at that time. The Cuisinart was $250 and I thought it's overpriced, but Breville is $700...really overpriced.

The Breville is not always $700. We got ours for $400.

Could you add liquids while mixing i.e salad dressings?

[@seikibrian8641]

Yes, you just pour them through the small feed tube. (For safety, if you remove the large feed tube the machine shuts off; but the small feed tube is too small for someone to get his or her hand down to contact the blade, so no disconnect is needed.)

[@tammyricker8643]

Can you put ice in this?

[@KuntaKinteToby]

I would advise against it. While the motor and blades will certainly crush ice, I do not think the bowl is impact resistant, and hard ice chunks may damage it with repeated use. Its this reason most blenders have a glass bowl.

[@seikibrian8641]

Some companies offer a "Parmesan/Ice Grating Disk" as an accessory, but I don't think Breville is one of them. These disks turn ice into snow for making snow cones, kaki-gori, frozen margaritas and daiquiris, etc. See, for example: www.kitchenaid.com/digitalassets/KFP13PI/Standalone_1175X1290.jpg I wouldn't try to crush ice in the bowl unless I bought a spare chopping blade to use only for that purpose.

Here's what they don't show you. The actual accessory storage is a double stack. They are only showing you ONE box, it's actually TWO (dicer attachment). They also don't show you how enormous this product is or what it costs, $550 plus tax. I love Breville but this product is too cumbersome. It's industrial, and there's lots of handwashing. Real chefs will appreciate what this bad boy can do but the rest of us will feel guilty if dust begins to form from not using it everyday. LOL : )

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

It shipped to save time and cleaning is to just simply put in a few drops of soap with warmer water and run the machine for a little bit to clear out the bowl and blade.

[@ladnerracing]

I love this food processor! kzbin.infoUgkxuxrxet7NpWgQWK7mCww2lBlrKBcUIrtv I was really hesitant when I placed the order, because it is cheap as compared to the higher end ones. I debated on getting a higher end one, but decided not to, because this one had great reviews and honestly, I didn't know how often I was going to use a food processor. Little did I know that I was going to use it pretty often and it is amazing. I don't use it every day, but at least a few times a month, and so far, it works! And grinds up things pretty fine.The one con would be the slicing and shredding blade - I don't really use it, because I don't think the veggies come out that pretty. A higher end food processor would probably do a better job, (but I really don't know). Anyway, I mostly use the S blade to grind and finely chop food and so far, it meets my needs and I'm very satisfied! Especially for the price that I paid for it!UPDATE! I have had this processor for over a year now, and I still use it constantly and it works perfectly. Such a great purchase!
